Timeline of Israel's News Centering Around Temple Mount and Jerusalem

October 27 PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah visited Temple Mount, and declared that East Jerusalem was the eternal capital of the Palestinian state. This goes against facts. East Jerusalem is a part of Jerusalem, Israel's capital, and Jerusalem is unified. Palestine is not a state yet. Such things have not come under any decisions, and the way it's going, it won't be happening.

October 28 A senior US official said, "The thing about Bibi (Netanyahu) is, he's a chickenshit." Israelis and Americans all have their idea as to who said it. The result was of Washington distancing itself from the comments and Israeli officials seeing them as trying to discredit the PM before a likely deal on the Iranian nuclear issue. Was being a chickenshit saying he wouldn't dare bomb the Iranian uranium plants like was done to Syria when they were building the same thing? Was that a purposely done as a dare from Washington? Was that throwing out a slur on purpose to see the reactions?

About Me

I'm the American Nadene Goldfoot. Another lives in England. I'm the one who went to Israel and lived there from 1980 to the end of 1985. I'm an amateur genealogist for our family who also has expanded interests into dna. I now spend my time writing in my 3 blogs teaching about Israel and defending her position.

On my tree I have found Rabbi Samson Wertheimer, RASHI, and King David through DNA testing. Another branch holds the kings and queens of England by genealogy. When current events become deplorable, I turn to this hobby for a lift. It's all whetted my appetite for ancient history of Israel.
